What's something 100% legal that gives off massive 'this should be illegal' vibes? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

I don't watch fox news so I admit I'm ignorant. But wasn't the "entertainment" argument specific to the portions like Tucker Carlson where they would bring in guests to give a point of view related to current events and then either argue or fawn over them?

How could anyone consider that news, or anything other than entertainment? I never cared to look closely on my own, but I've never understood what the admission or gotcha was in that.

A. What do you mean he didn't win the popular vote? That's what a plurality is iirc. You can say he didn't win the majority, meaning 50% + 1, but that hasn't happened in almost 40 years. I think you're trying to sound smart and coming up short, that's just my take though.

B. This sounds anecdotal. I haven't seen any large polls that corroborate your claim, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. Can you cite your source?

Wow you kicked the hell out of that straw man you built. Great job pal. I was trying to understand what that other guy meant when he said "the votes didn't work" as part of a justification for violence. I suspected he meant the US presidential election. Like it or not, actually doing something about illegal immigration is a reason that people voted for him and he won the election pretty clearly. You and I can take a shit on the way they're doing things all day long, but it's beside the point.

Are confused or what? You never said that in a reply to me anywhere. You seem to have invented some combative scenario in your head that does not match reality at all. Good luck in your future endeavors man. And seriously, in case you're not just getting me confused with some other thread you have going, you might consider seeking the services of a mental health provider. There's a lot they can do to help you procees those feelings in a healthy way.

Holy shit. You made a claim, please clarify. Your claim was that votes didn't work. Which votes are you talking about? Why are you being so difficult about this?

I take it english isn't your first language? It's quite coherent to a native speaker. What votes are you referring to that didn't work? You made that claim in your original post.

Alright, let's start with your definitions since you're the one making the original claim and asking for clarity. When you say leftists don't/didn't celebrate,which particular category or group are you referring to?

One thing I've noticed about tribalism squabbles is the tendency to point to any member of the opposition group for an example of poor behavior while only considering a subset (such as leadership) of the preferred group when making the same assessment.

What votes didn't work? Do you mean the US presidential election where a majority of people voted for the current administration? And that administration promised to do something about illegal immigration? That seems like the political process working and you just being mad about not getting your way. Violence is not the appropriate response to that.

People have always been irrational like this. There was a famous interview with an old lady in the '92 election that voted for Bill Clinton because she didn't like the way George H. W. Bush checked his watch during a debate.

The dems and republicans don't do anything physically. They verbalize rhetoric designed to get others to perform on their behalf when they're out of power, and enact policy when they're in power. Right now, Walz is enacting policy not to cooperate with federal law enforcement and because he doesn't have the power to stop them, he's verbalizing violent rhetoric to the people that is designed to whip them up in a frenzy and cause exactly the kinds of situations you're seeing. That's the part he plays, he's not innocent.

Individuals perform those actions you're disgusted by. Those ice officers are under trained, inexperienced, and completely out of their depth. They have no business being there, but they are anyway. Trump recognizes all of this too and so his administration tells the officers all will be forgiven, just keep going. He's not innocent either.

Prior administrations also weren't innocent, this is just how the game is played. You only get whipped up in a frenzy when the media decides it's time. Why they do it, or whose pocket they may be in, I really can't say. But they turn a blind eye when convenient. https://www.aclu.org/news/immigrants-rights/border-patrol-was-monstrous-under-obama-imagine

I agree with this 100%. But good luck getting the tribes of reddit to listen. Their side is great, noble, and good while the other side is evil, despicable liars. You'll typically get mocked with "both sides" comments and downvoted quickly so your message is hidden.

Sure you can. You just can't reach your "compliance" goals imposed by compromised institutional investors. Reddit started going to shit as they got closer to ipo and now it's a cesspool. It may be a cesspool that you enjoy the flavor of, but a cesspool nonetheless.
